Hard at work?

September 23rd, 2004 · No Comments

Quite a day at sea today. I feel like I am slamming tasks out left and right, but I pick up two new ones for every one I finish. On the plus side, my in-laws are in town so I should be able to bust out all my schoolwork tonight and tomorrow night and [...]

What a workout

September 22nd, 2004 · No Comments

I used my nervous energy about school to get my @ss out of bed early and hit the bike. Since I jogged yesterday, it seemed like a good idea to do something a little easier on the knees this morning. Eight miles later and I feel pretty great! Gotta go…

Determined

September 20th, 2004 · No Comments

I need to sit down and get my sh#t together regarding my schoolwork or I’m gonna stumble a few feet from the finish line. I have no excuse now, the basement is clean and the boys are a few short minutes from bed. Oh yeah – I found a 1gb SD card for [...]

Lab work

September 20th, 2004 · No Comments

Sitting in the lab, it occurs to me that I have a lot of missed opportunities to do really cool things with the technology that I work with every day. I need to step up my hacker mentality a notch and get some innovation back in my life. Whatever happened to Linux in the [...]

This is sweet…

September 18th, 2004 · No Comments

But not wired into the network! My awesome wife has let me trade up on my PDA to a newer model. This one has pretty much everything and is still small enough to fit in my pocket. I’m sitting by the big screen sipping a beer while I scratch this out over [...]

Back to the books

September 15th, 2004 · No Comments

Schools back in session – you could probably tell since I haven’t posted anything, replied to pages or emails and I’m covered in sweat. Okay – the sweat is from biking to work. This is the third day in a row that I’ve gotten to work under my own power. I prefer [...]

Let it rain

September 9th, 2004 · No Comments

Well I hit the bike yesterday – second day of exercise in a row. Felt good but my knee is a little sore today. I’ll work the weights instead of running today and give the lower joints an extra day off. I have an hour of schoolwork and an hour of PC [...]

Day Two

September 8th, 2004 · No Comments

Between my wife and dog wrestling for control of Caseys sleeping location, three beers on day one of my diet, and walking an extra five miles during the day I didn’t sleep very peacefully last night. Now today – with no white sugar or flour in me for twenty four hours – I am [...]

DAY ONE

September 7th, 2004 · No Comments

Well here we go again – second time around on the South Beach diet. My weight loss is zero as of 8:00AM this morning. Two hours later and I already feel lighter (and hungry). I want to make my 220 goal this time – no fooling around. I will diet and [...]
